Description
This copycat recipe recreates the famous Longhorn Steakhouse Parmesan Crusted Chicken with tender chicken, a creamy Parmesan sauce, and a crispy, cheesy topping.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 cup Italian salad dressing (for marinating)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese, divided
- ½ cup ranch dressing
- 4 slices provolone cheese
- ¼ cup salted butter, melted
- ½ cup panko breadcrumbs
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Marinate chicken in Italian dressing for at least 30 minutes or up to 8 hours.
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Sear marinated chicken in olive oil for 3–4 minutes per side.
- Combine ¼ cup Parmesan cheese with ranch dressing and spread over seared chicken.
- Top each chicken breast with a slice of provolone cheese.
- Mix melted butter, panko breadcrumbs, remaining Parmesan, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Sprinkle over chicken.
- Bake for 10–12 minutes, or until chicken reaches 165°F (74°C). Broil for 2–3 minutes for extra crispiness if desired.
- Rest for a few minutes before serving. Garnish with parsley if desired.
Notes
- Substitute provolone with mozzarella, Swiss, or Monterey Jack if preferred.
- For added crispiness, broil briefly at the end of cooking.
- Pair with mashed potatoes, vegetables, or rice for a complete meal.
